The problem was fairly quickly resolved, and she followed up after to keep us up to date. We felt very comfortable with how she handled the situation, her communication and how she cared for Alice.

About: I’ve taken care of various pets since I was 10. I have cared for many dogs, including puppies and seniors, but I also have experience caring for cats and other pets as well. My attention to detail, cleanliness, and energetic attitude will make me the perfect candidate to care for your pet! I have a flexible schedule and reliable transportation, so I’m able to drop in and check on your pet at a moment’s notice. I’m willing to take on jobs last minute and can care for many pets a day. Before my beloved dogs Rosie and Sissie passed away due to old age, I took pride in caring for them every day. I understand the importance of having animals in our lives not just as pets, but as family. Caring for your pets would allow me to utilize my experience and fill the hole in my heart that was caused by the passing of my own fur babies ❤️
About: I have experience in vet med, so I will be able to keep a detail-oriented eye on your pet's health and wellbeing. If it comes to it, I can take your beloved companion to the vet clinic while you're out of town and see to any at-home care they need, no problem. I currently make my income entirely through app-based freelance work, making it easy to interweave schedules. I can check in on your pet, go out and work for 2-3 hours, then come back again. ADHD tendencies serve me well in this situation-- I can focus on a show, a book, or working on my laptop, while still being peripherally aware of what your pet is doing, and taking time to check in and give lots of scritches and belly-rubs. I live in a shared housing situation, so I have plenty of experience leaving an environment that is not my own exactly as I found it.
About: My loved ones have trusted me to care for their fur babies. I am detail-oriented and prioritize the safety and wellbeing of those I am caretaking. I work full-time with a hybrid schedule. For this Summer, I can provide pet care Monday and Tuesday after 5pm. Thursday 12-1pm and after 5pm. Fridays anytime after 12 pm. Sat/Sun is open (flexible). I enter all spaces with respect and integrity. Depending on how I’m introduced to your fur baby, whether if it’s with you or solo, I’m engaged and mindful with a steady approach. Through this, I aim to gain yours and your fur baby’s trust.

Jön O.
“Jön has always been a lover of animals and a responsible caretaker for them. From a young age he took responsibility for training and caring for our family's dog. As an adult, I've trusted him to care for my cats many times, and he has gone above and beyond to feed, groom, and play with them while I'm away. If my cats could type, they would share that they're always thrilled to see him and would recommend his services to any animal in need.”
Pearl M.
“Pearl has watched our beloved cat, Mishka many times- and is our first choice as a pet sitter. We can travel easy knowing that our fur baby is in Pearls care. They’ve given our cat tons of love and play time, ensured she is fed, her litter scooped and that she has quality play and enrichment time throughout the day and evening. When we arrive back home, our cat is at ease like we never left! We are so grateful for the time, attention and love that Pearl has poured into our loved one when we need to leave. We cannot thank Pearl enough! We highly recommend their services as a pet sitter!”
Fairhaven pet parents share their Rover experiences
Alisha is amazing! Our dogs and chickens were well cared for and loved while we were away. We would definitely book her again!
This is my second time booking and amazing per usual. Louie loves the walks, attention, and care given during the stay. Very happy to have a trustworthy, communicative, and attentive sitter!
Bella stayed a night with the pets while we were out of town. She was great to work with, easy to communicate with, and the house was in great shape when we returned. I will rebook her again.
Camille did an excellent job taking care of our anxious pup! She was very patient and gentle with her, and sent daily updates and photos too. It put us at ease while we were away!
Darian have us such relief and peace when leaving our dog. They were the perfect amount of attentive and responsive to put us at ease. We will be forever grateful and definitely recommend in the future.
Kennedy was very kind and treated our dogs like princesses. She followed all instructions and we came home to our dogs looking healthier and happier than when we left them. She sent us pictures and gave us updates. Looking forward to having her watch our dogs again
Madison is an excellent sitter! She stayed at our home for 7 days with our two very large and excitable dogs. This is the longest we have ever been away from them in the almost 9 years we’ve had them. We were very anxious as these dogs are our children. Madison was thorough and went above and beyond to make sure that us and our boys had a good experience. She did brushing, gave medication and helped them brush up on some of their training skills. The boys loved her, and her updates gave us great peace of mind. She left our house very tidy, and was considerate of our space. This was my first experience with rover, and Madison knocked it out of the park. Tucker and Toby can’t wait to have her back next time. 100/10 recommend Madison for your furry friends. ❤️
Caitlin did a great job with our Lucy! We came home to a happy healthy puppy after a couple days away. She was even nice enough to offer to come over early on our departure day just to make sure we had plenty of time to catch our flight! Thanks a Caitlin!
Peyten always does a fantastic job with our kitties and we appreciate her so much! She is patient and kind and helps both of them feel comfortable and loved. Thank you, Peyten!
Kathleen was wonderful! She took excellent care of our dogs and sent multiple updates through our her stay. She took them on a long walk and took great care of our home. Couldn’t recommend her more.
Autumn did an amazing job caring for my two pups in my home while I was gone for a week. She gave me frequent updates, lots of photos and even took the dogs on some fun adventures. I would definitely have her stay with them again.
There are almost not enough things to say how wonderful Elizabeth was. She stepped in when my other pet sitter flaked out about 3 days before we departed. Not only did she take wonderful care of Nika but she provided updates and photos and was really flexible and accommodating when our flights got canceled and severely delayed. She is easily the most responsible pet and house sitter I have ever found on Rover.com. Thank you Liz and look forward to having you back soon!!!!!
Katie watched after our young dog for a week. We got lots of great updates and had an easy time coordinating plans. She took great care of the house too. Our dog was tired and relaxed when we got home, thanks Katie!
Lily was great with Nico and very friendly. I booked last minute and she was very accommodating, especially for it being a holiday weekend. Would rebook
I know Laura as Rene and they did an amazing job watching our husky Luna while we were on a cruise! We expected to have cell and Wi-Fi reception for the duration of our trip but as it turns out we did not. That didn’t phase Rene as they still sent us photos and updates throughout and was able to keep Luna calm during 4th of July fireworks. Rene is a super sitter and we will definitely be using them again. Luna can’t wait for more either
Jane is super sweet and took great care of our fur baby! We booked her for last-minute boarding over the weekend. She did great at following all our instructions, keeping our pup safe and going on long walks and adventures. She was great at communicating with us and updating us throughout the weekend, and we would definitely book her again!
We needed a last minute dog sitter and Violet was great to communicate with from the beginning! I will definitely be using her again!
We really appreciated Mo coming to our house and watching our dog while we were away for 5 days. Our dog is an older dog that needs a little bit of special care.
